The client.
The Garibaldi is a historic pub in the heart of Knaphill, Surrey, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Blending traditional charm with quality food and drink, it’s a favourite for locals and visitors alike, close to the Surrey countryside.
The challenge was to keep The Garibaldi’s historic charm while making it feel right for a modern audience.
What I did.
I modernised the brand and built a cohesive, mobile first website, backed up with digital and print media and a social media strategy. Together they blend the pub’s rich history with a fresh edge.
The website had to look good and work well on every device, because that’s where people check menus and opening times. Traditional elements sit alongside contemporary design, and the new identity carries through consistent print and a targeted social strategy that speaks to regulars and brings in new faces.
The rebrand led to a clear rise in footfall and online engagement. The website became a key driver of visits, social grew the pub’s following, and feedback from regulars and newcomers alike showed The Garibaldi had kept its heritage while finding a modern identity.
